    :lol: I'd already derived maximum satisfaction from it before the halfway mark and the rest was just a delicious bonus.

    It`s because she`s wide open while punching like Khan, they don`t move off the line after punching.

    Her punch technique is far better than Claressa`s.

    nah she got some skills just not as much to warrant her hype. But yeah she definitely lost that fight.

    Savannah is the truth. One of the few female boxers whose skills, power, and slickness impresses me.

    I will give Miss Shields this much. I admire her drive/determination and her ambition; her dream of bringing her sport to the big stage (PPV, packed arenas) isn't offensive in and of itself.

    But, at the same time, the business can't be expected to manufacture the kind of demand which would facilitate her goals. Ladies' boxing has had enough TV exposure that a demand would have organically manifested if there existed an exciting ladies' sport to capitalize on. It doesn't, but promoters/networks are endeavouring to push it up the ladder and force-feed it into popularity for 'equality and diversity' reasons anyways. I don't think it's going to work.

    Funny thing is, she actually seemed pretty down-to-earth the time I met her (a couple years ago).
